The dynamism of a successful high season has swept us into the new year and we now look forward to new opportunities. With Valentine’s Day and International Women’s Day on our doorstep, this is the time when we traditionally operate additional flower flights to Europe. Bringing flowers directly to Amsterdam is a clear advantage for our clients – who said romance was dead? Africa, incidentally, remains a focus for Cargolux as we shall be attending the Air Cargo Africa event in February. Designed to explore and strengthen African networking corridors, the event attracts global representatives of the airfreight community and is an effective networking platform. We are also proud to note that we successfully passed our GDP renewal audit, validating our GDP certification and attesting that we fulfill the requirements of the EU directive “Guidelines on Good Distribution Practice of Medicinal Products for Human Use” as well as the WHO guidelines. This is largely thanks to our qualified team of experts who work closely with our customers to develop the highly specialized solutions they require. While we are really looking forward to business in 2017, it is with great fondness that we recall one of last year’s highlights – the safe transport of Solar Impulse 2 from Abu Dhabi to its home in Switzerland. We are proud that the Solar Impulse team once again entrusted Cargolux with this delicate and difficult operation after having used our services previously, in 2013 and 2015. Read more about last year’s operation on page 8 of this issue. I do hope you enjoy the stories and insights we have collected and look forward to receiving any suggestions or comments you might have for future issues.

The 2016 Cargolux peak season not only exceeded 2015, but was the most successful on record in terms of tonnage in block hours. Can you give us some figures? In November, we achieved all-time records in block hours flown, with over 12,000 block hours produced and more than 96,000 chargeable tons – a significant achievement. At this point, it looks as though we managed yet another good performance in December. This is a result of the hard work and dedication of our team, worldwide. Cargolux is the first airline to receive a Lean & Green award. How are you planning to reduce your carbon footprint? By introducing “new and newer” technologies in a wide variety of areas such as the optimiza- tion of flight paths and the reduction of fuel consumption. Have a look at our “Lean, green & proud” article on pages 12 and 13 for information on some exciting initiatives. What other key challenges are you facing? Continued sustainability in the current environment, and I don’t think this is unique to Cargolux. Also dealing with the rapid increase in belly capacity. Therefore the need to act now and not later! You currently fly to an extensive list of destinations and have recently added a weekly flight to Oslo. What other destinations might be of future interest? We are investigating a number of other destinations which interest us. We also maintain a continuous interaction with the ministries of transport, and the civil aviation authorities in numerous countries to assist in the expansion of our air bilaterals (operating rights). That said, the affluent industry of the past has been replaced by one that is extremely volatile in terms of supply and demand. “We’re investing in In your opinion, what’s been Cargolux’s greatest achievement?

  • Voluntary Carbon Offsetting 44 1-3%
    FACT SHEET #11 / NOVEMBER 2020 VOLUNTARY CARBON OFFSETTING A number of airlines already offer voluntary carbon offsetting for passengers, how do they work? Each flight produces carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and whilst there are a lot of things being done by airlines to reduce the fuel use and CO2 emissions, often passengers would like to know how they can help lower the CO2 footprint of their travel. Voluntary carbon offsetting is one option available to passengers, either through an airline programme directly, or a third-party offset provider. What are offsets? 44 A large number of corporate travellers The name ‘offset’ can cover a variety of sources of CO2 reduction. It is a way to compensate for CO2 being produced airlines offer and individual in one area, by helping to fund a project which reduces CO2 in voluntary carbon passengers will another area. offsetting offset through third- programmes to party providers: we For example, if a passenger’s flight produces 2 tonnes of passengers. have no visibility CO2, they can choose to help fund a project which provides renewable energy to replace 2 tonnes of fossil fuel-related Half of the world’s 20 on the uptake of CO2 production. largest airlines offer offsets through these offsetting. sources. This is an offset, or a ‘carbon credit’. Most credits / offsets are in units of one tonne of CO2 and they can be generated by a range of different programmes around the world, in renewable energy, forestry and eventually they may be available in carbon capture, using technology to literally draw CO2 out of the 1-3% atmosphere.

  • Bsc Business Administration
    BSc Business Administration How have current market conditions affected Icelandic airlines compared to international competitors and how to they perform differently? December 2018 Student: Þórunn Andrésdóttir Kt: 160493-2759 Instructor: Katrín Ólafsdóttir Scanned with CamScanner Abstract The behavior of the commercial aviation market has changed greatly in the last 4 decade which has caused the market to shift from an oligopoly market to a monopolistic competitive market. This shift has increased competition in the market as low-cost carriers, budget airlines, have entered the market causing the prices of airfare to drop. With increased competition on the market and new airlines entering the market with innovative ideas, it has created operation difficulties for airlines in the market. In particular the Icelandic airlines, as airline expenses have steadily been increasing. Rising jet fuel prices, increasing average wages and exchange rate deficit are among the changes in the market that are weighing heavily on airlines expenses. This thesis discusses how these market factors affect the Icelandic airlines and how their performance is different compared to the competition in the market. The analysis that was conducted showed that the Icelandic airlines spend more on jet fuel and employee’s salary than their competition. However, Icelandair’s unit cost was the second lowest in the analysis which indicates that the airline is more likely to survive if there will be a major decrease in airfare demand in the market. Key words: commercial aviation, Icelandic airlines, jet fuel, average wages, CASK, transatlantic routes. Preface This final project is a 12 ECTS thesis for a BSc degree in Business Administration at Reykjavík University.

  • (ATC) Strike Today
    JOINT ECTAA / A4E PRESS RELEASE Hundreds of flights across Italy to be impacted by national Air Traffic Control (ATC) strike today First strike of the year follows 30 ATC strike days in 2018, with millions of travellers affected - Strike will take place between 12:00 - 16:00 UTC (13:00 – 17:00 local time) - Hundreds of flight cancellations and delays are expected, disrupting travel plans for thousands Brussels, 11 January 2019 -- 2019 is already off to a bad start for travellers with the first national ATC strike taking place in Italy today in the afternoon. A4E airlines are being forced to cancel hundreds of flights in advance as controllers at Air Traffic Control centres in Rome, Milan, and Brindisi go on strike, affecting both domestic and intra-European flights to and from Italy. Intercontinental flights as well as overflights are not expected to be impacted. Travellers may face additional headaches as workers at Catania, Turin, Genoa, Perugia, and Pescara airports are also expected to participate in the strike action, particularly impacting families returning from their holiday breaks as well as visitors travelling to Milan for the start of Men’s Fashion Week. “The new year is a chance for a fresh new start. Unfortunately, when it comes to Europe’s air traffic control strikes, old habits re-emerge year after year. The result is millions of travellers will continue to have their travel plans disrupted this year unless EU and national policy makers make this issue a priority”, said Thomas Reynaert, Managing Director, Airlines for Europe (A4E). In the countries most affected by controllers’ strikes, A4E is calling for an improved continuity of service for passengers and has proposed a number of solutions to address the situation, including a mandatory 72-hour individual notification period for employees wishing to strike and protection of overflights (while not at the expense of the country where the strike originates).
